Tight-Tolerance Multipurpose Air-Hardening A2 Tool Steel Rods
Precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe. They’re also known as drill rod. A2 tool steel is more wear resistant than O1 and it keeps a sharper cutting edge. This air-hardening material is widely used for punches, broaches, and dies.

Plastic Dowel Pins
Plastic pins are a nonconductive and nonmagnetic alternative to metal dowel pins, so they're useful in electronic applications. Use them as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.
Acetal plastic and PTFE plastic pins are slippery, so they make excellent pivots. Acetal pins resist wear.
